Vein Treatment & condition specialists

Venous  disease refers to several conditions affecting your veins. Veins use  one-way valves to carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. The  valves keep blood moving in the right direction by opening to let blood  go through, then closing to be sure it can’t flow backward.

When  the valves become weak or damaged, they allow blood to go backward. As a  result, blood builds up in the vein below the valve, which creates  abnormally high pressure.

The  pressure from accumulating blood, causes additional stretching of the  vein walls and valves, allowing more blood to remain in the vein. With  more swelling, valve damage, and excess blood, venous disease develops.

These are a few of the most common problems treated at the vein center:

• Chronic  Venous Insufficiency: Chronic venous insufficiency generally refers to  blood pooling in your veins due to weakened or damaged valves. This  condition leads to other complications such as skin ulcers that don’t  heal and varicose veins.
• Deep  Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Thrombosis is an inflammation of a vein that  develops due to a blood clot. Deep vein thrombosis is a very serious  problem because the blood clot can break loose, lodge in your lungs, and  block blood flow.
• Post-Thrombotic  Syndrome (PTS): PTS develops when deep vein thrombosis damages the  valves or vein wall. This damage remains and causes ongoing venous  problems after the DVT blood clot is treated.

The most common symptoms of venous disease include:

• Leg pain
• Leg swelling
• Restless legs
• Aching or cramping in the legs
• Heaviness or a feeling of tiredness in the legs
• Burning or tingling sensations in your legs
• Tender areas around the affected veins
• Changes in skin color and texture

The  visible signs of venous problems include spider veins, varicose veins,  and venous ulcers. These skin ulcers typically appear near your ankle  and they’re slow to heal, if they heal at all.
